Newcastle are close to recruiting a new defender.

On the 30th (Korea time), The Sun in England reported that `Newcastle is leading the way in the recruitment of Crystal Palace defender Mark Guehi.' The Sun said Newcastle emerged as the most likely candidate, with Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester City sending love calls.

Guehi is one of England's best centre-backs. Guehi, who grew up in Chelsea, has been playing for Crystal Palace since the 2021-2022 season after going through Swansea City. Although he is not tall, he boasts a solid defense with the highest level of agility and excellent balance. He has good footwork and has excellent passing skills. With this performance, he also joined the England national team, and contributed to the team's runner-up at the last Euro 2024.

Naturally, the love calls from big clubs are continuing. Newcastle were the most active, with Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester City courting. One of Newcastle's top priorities this summer, as it is known, is defensive reinforcement. Newcastle is also connected to Kim Min-jae, whose location is unclear in Bayern Munich. Bayern says it can send Kim Min-jae if an appropriate offer comes, and Newcastle is a club that can pay 50 million euros that Bayern wants. Newcastle boasts huge funding power after being acquired by Saudi sovereign wealth fund.

It seems to prioritize recruiting Ghehi over Kim Min-jae. Newcastle also tried to recruit Guehi last summer. Crystal Palace rejected the offer for a whopping £70 million. In the end, Guehi stayed and continued to play unchanged this season. Newcastle are trying to sign him once more.

For Crystal Palace, this summer is their last chance to get their hands on a large sum of money, as they only have a year left on their contract with Gehi. Moreover, many clubs are showing interest, and the value of Guehi is increasing more and more.
